Mother’s Day Gift

by xin on May 13, 2007

It’s mother’s day today, what have you given your mom? No, this set of cosmetics is not from me to my mom, they are from my sisters. Let’s check them out.

Gift Bag
A beautiful complimentary gift bag for the cosmetics

Gift Set
-There are 5 babies inside the bag, which is:
-Foundation : RM158.00
-Blush : RM 98.00
-Duo Eye Shadow : RM95.00
-2 Lip colors :RM 68 each

Blush

Blush

Let’s take a look at the blush, it’s in peach pink, it has a bit of orange shade, this is more suitable for tanned skin. If you have a fair skin, it’d be nice if you go for baby pink blush.

Duo Eye Shadow

Duo Eye Shadow

This is a duo color eye shadow, a light purple+blue and a darker purple+blue. Very elegant and gentle color, should be suitable for my mom. 😀 Look at the built-quality of this palette, it looks really classy unlike some over-the-counter brands, how often duo color eye shadow comes with a mirror? Look at the price and you know why. 🙂

Lip Color

A brighter color of lipstick in ruby. The code is LF09.

Lip Color

A darker shade of red, sorry about the slight difference, it’s actually a much darker red like liver red, but I was having lighting problem.

Foundation

Skin smooth foundation, SF03, Fair. I have tried this a little bit on my hand and it’s really easy to push and blend with skin. It costs a hefty RM158.00 for a 35ml.

If you look at a set of 5 products like this, the total comes to RM487.00 ~ USD143. It’s really pricey I’d say. We were entitled to a little discount for our purchase, but still expensive in my opinion. *I did not go with my sisters. I could have assembled a similar set at lower prices, but of course, the quality would have been different then. This brand, Averine, is actually made in Italy, it should be available at selected cosmetics/beauty centre. I can’t tell you whether this brand is really worth the money or not now, since they are all brand new and it’s not mine 😛 I’ll update this post when I get my hands on them!

Happy Mother’s Day!

How sweet of your sisters. I have tried the foundation. It felt nice like gel. Colour match is also pretty good and the coverage is quite sheer.

Paris: That sounds nice, I will tell my mom to use it asap. Probably I have to wait till my mother to experiment it. Hehe it’s her gift after all, I will feel bad for using it first before her 😀
